FIRST DATE IDEAS FROM MEMBERS

One - we skip work and meet in the morning for a bike ride/ski/hike (whatever you're into) - then we go to lunch at a nice, quiet, out of the way place and just talk for a while, getting to know a little about each other's style and needs. We finish by planning an evening rendezvous. Two - we meet at a quiet bar that serves really good wine - we take our time listening to each other, our preferences, our interests. We forget dinner until late in the evening because we're absorbed in our convesation, and laughing at each other"s funny stories., We end up planning our rendezvous over bruschetta and calamari.

Coffee and scones...and quiet conversation.

a nice quiet dinner and a game of pool...if you dont know the game i can always teach you. all the while we are having a good conversation.

A great meal, a walk to an ice cream shop and topped off with live music.

A First Date....Hmmmmm, well at That Point we have Communicated for so long and So Much that i would Use The Scenario of my "Perfect Date"...... Meet on a Friday or Saturday Afternoon and Just Put The Top Down in a Convertible, Head Out with Just A Credit Card, Some Tunes On The Player, a Small Overnite Bag with a Change of Clothes and Toiletries......And Absolutely NO IDEA Where we are Going.......Just Drive Until we Find Somewhere Interesting to eat and Then Some Quaint or Fun Place to Stay/Sleep........Any Date I have would already know it would be Pleasant and exciting to spend a Night and two days together....Thats what The Whole Communication Process allows us...Do our "Screening" Early on...when the Time Cums-GO FOR IT! If She/He Do Not Feel they have Known Each Other For years On That VERY 1st Date.......It Is Not A Good Hook-Up.....How Does The Date End.......With a Firm and Exciting Plan for The Next One! We are All Busy People In An Ultra Busy and Complicated World...Jobs, Kids, Families, Finances, Personal and Business Commitments, Illnesses, School, hobbies....the List is Endless in 2011.......Once you Do Your Screening, and you Believe you Are With The Genuine Article......GO FOR IT DAMMIT! .

Coffee or wine and a game of scrabble at a cafe.

meeting in a public quiet place to get to see if we meet each other approve and getting to know what we want to know about one another

Is there really a "perfect" first date? With the nervousness and awkwardness of meeting someone for the first time....I would have to say coffee, lunch....even a walk in the park or through the zoo. Something informal, relaxing and fun! Something that still allows 2 people to talk without yelling over music or crowds so that they can get to know one another.

Perfect comes in many forms. I don't limit ideal results with preconceived notions. Perfection would come from an honest tender meet ting of hearts whatever the outcome.

Coffee or drinks and conversation.

something simple, coffee, brunch or just a walk in the park to spend alittle time and see if we click. That isnt really a date but if you click then you can set up something with a bit more substance... perhaps a dinner cruise or something casual like a few games of pool and then dinner plus......

Museum and a drink

Drinks to be ale to get to know the other person, dinner (with the gentlemen paying,I'm a little old fashioned) and a walk after wards then stopping for dessert somewhere.

A romantic first date..... I enjoy a romantic hideaway or hole in the wall type of restaurant. Someplace unique or different is more appealing to me. Slowly getting to know one another, the adventure of it all, that is what fascinates me.

Meet someone for coffe or wine..chat get to know one another. That would be a FIRST meeting. Be honest if there is no attraction at this point. After that...the world is our oyster. Dancing, hiking, traveling, dining...long or short walks..events..doesn't matter. All depends on the weather, mood etc.

For the first date, there shouldn't be any expectations other than just meeting to see how we feel about each other in person. Meet for drinks, lunch or dinner and then just go from there based on the chemistry.

Nothing too fancy. Simple and in a quality setting. I hate loud places where no one can hear or get to know anyone. Over coffee or at lunch where time is limited in case someone needs to leave due to work if things don't work out.

meet at a causal location for a few drinks and see how things go from there

A nice walk in the park , talking about ourselves followed by a nice, but not a formal, meal.

First date-lunch,dinner,drinks,coffee,a short hike,whatever we decide on-a walk on the beach?
